    On a general note, I think the core has a CYCLECOUNT register which needs to be enabled. By substracting the values between breakpoints (or even stored on a global variable), knowing the core clock frequency can yield the time between two points in the code. (with global variable, max value can be also tracked over some operating time). For IAR specifics, don't know.

    Yes, ST's M3 and M4 designs have the DWT_CYCCNT, one could use the BKPT instruction and time tag specific points in the code, and report the delta time in R0, for example.

    Dear Mr./Ms. Clive One

    Thank you for your reply. First, I would like you to see my answer to Mr./Ms.KIC 8462852 EPIC 204278916. As written there, I made a program that flashes the LED by TIM counter overflow every 500 ms. And I got the picture below.
